Description: A cucumber for all your needs! Short, thick cukes have blunt ends that are slightly tapered and fit perfectly in a pickle jar. The 6” fruits are medium-green with some striping. Also great for slicing into salads. A heavy producer with black spines.

Germination: 7 - 14 days at 18 - 22ºC.Indoors: 4 weeks before last frost date. Sow in individual 2 - 3" plantable pots, such as peat or coir, so as not to disturb the roots when transplanting. For best results, apply Sea Magic™ kelp from first watering. Apply a seedling-starter fertilizer such as Evolve Seedling once the second set of true leaves has appeared, and then alternate between the kelp and seedling starter until transplant.Outdoors: Direct seed after last frost date, once soil temperature reaches 20ºC.Planting Depth: 1/2" (outdoors).Spacing: 4 - 5 seeds in hills spaced 12 - 18" apart. Thin to 2 - 3 plants per hill. If space is limited, plant closer together and provide a trellis.Planting Out: Plant outdoors in 12" diameter hills in well-drained fertile soil once seedlings are established and all chance of frost is past.
